Dear Frers 33 Members,

Question:
Is their a set of template drawings for the keel that can be converted =
into a set of templates and is it possible to get a copy.

anyone feel there is another or better alternative they would recommend.
The Frers design specifications sheet indicated that the keels were =
faired with vinylester resin and biaxial glass. I assume the biaxial =
glass they are referring to was just for the trailing edge, since my =
keel is certainly not fully encapsulated in glass. Is that a correct =
assumption or were some keels fully glassed when the were faired?
Thanks

I had the misfortune to have to remove my keel a couple of years ago.
The keel has a fiberglass "clamshell" fully encasing a lead alloy fin
shaped plug. The void between the clamshell and the plug is filled, for
the most part, with a putty. The foil shape is entirely in the shape of
the clamshell.

All,
I have just given the website a facelift with a new frames-based menu to make it easier to maintain and expand. Let me know if you have any suggestions. There is an FAQ section in the plans to supplement the list archives. If you have anything to contribute, please send it on to me.
As many of you know already, I am dedicating a web page to each boat, so send me your hull number, photos, etc. and I will post them. HTML is gratefully accepted as well!
I have also added a number of photos to the gallery courtesy of Karl Hudson.
Enjoy!
